Where do you go if you’re on a midnight starving? You are craving for some comfort food, but not a fast food, in a place where you could just hang out for hours, enjoying the city life in the evening. My favorite place with Bart is to go have Nasi Jinggo in Denpasar or at this particular place near our house in Jimbaran. Nasi Jinggo is a steam rice wrapped in banana leaf that makes it fragrant, with a little dish and that! This type of ‘Nasi’ seems to be popular in several cities in the country. In Yogyakarta they call it Nasi Kucing (cat rice?) or Nasi Koboi (Cowboy Rice!), in Solo it’s called Nasi Bandeng.

On Raya Pemogan street, Denpasar, not too far from By Pass street, toward Sanur, after passing MITRA 10, there is one favorite place to enjoy all the noodle dishes, called BAKMIE KITA (litteraly translasted to ‘our noodle” :) ). Actually on the same street, I have two other favorite eating places, they are NASI HOT (located on the same building with Golden Grafika Printing House) and SATE GUAN ‘by Uncle Guan’- both have been featured here.

SATE TUNA GUAN - Pemogan, DenpasarSATE TUNA GUAN – Pemogan, Denpasar

Usually Tuna satay is made from its crushed meat, winded to its bamboo or coconut stick. But Sate Guan is a bit different.They cut the meat in cube pieces, so you will think it’s like eating chicken satay, with larger bite of meat.

Not many people knows this place yet, probably because it’s location at a non-touristy place in Denpasar, right at the traffic light of Jl. Raya Pemogan,
